Time to Get Your Hopes Up for Cameron Crowe's New Series Roadies

Showtime has picked up Cameron Crowe and J.J. Abrams' pilot Roadies, an hourlong comedy about, you guessed it, the backstage lives of a rock band road crew. With Luke Wilson and Carla Gugino starring, it honestly sounds cool, which is exactly the problem, since Cameron Crowe is basically that guy you slept with a couple times who was really good and then ever since, it's just been bad experience after bad experience. But you keep coming back, because you're an optimist, damn it!

Fool me six times, shame on me, and yet, this show might actually rule. All we've got right now is a teaser trailer, but it looks like everyone's having a good musical time, so it's hard not to get your hopes up.

"I’ve long wanted to work with J.J. and Winnie [Holzman], and coming together to tell these stories has been beyond a blast," Crowe said. "The actors are all so passionate about music too, and the whole show has the feeling of stories and music shared between friends. We can’t wait to bring it all to life in 2016."

And we can't wait either... but probably best to store a good pint of ice cream in the freezer just in case of heartbreak. It wouldn't be the first time.
